When python reads a library file it compiles it and saves the "compiled" (I use the term loosely) version next to it with a .pyc extension. I am not certain, but it wouldn't be surprising if the pyc files were non-portable. This might explain why the stuff is not in share, which I gather from previous posts is system-independent.
